The conversation described in the notes raises new questions about whether Trump may have crossed any legal lines into criminal behavior by pressuring the FBI to end an investigation. And various reports are saying that Comey wrote memos on everything. It is vital that Congress obtain these memos and hear public testimony from former Director Comey. Immediately prior to joining Stetson, Professor Virelli served for five years as a trial attorney in the Civil Division of the U.S. Department of Justice in Washington, D.C.

Farenthold says Comey would have been duty-bound to report to the Justice Department any command to stop the investigation.

He told Comey that Flynn hadn't done anything wrong.

November 6, 2016: Trump criticizes Comey's second letter to Congress, saying Clinton was being protected by a "rigged system" and pronouncing her "guilty", despite the FBI's conclusion that criminal charges were unwarranted.

Speaking to Russian news agencies on Wednesday Yuri Ushakov, an aide to President Vladimir Putin, would not comment the contents of last week's talks among Trump, Lavrov and Kislyak.

Clinton's campaign blames Comey for her defeat last November. Clinton said her campaign was on track to win the election until Comey sent the letter to Congress on October 28.

If Mr Trump was impeached, convicted by the Senate and expelled from office, Vice President Mike Pence would take the oath of office and become President.

Memorial Day travel expected to be recordbreaker
The remainder of about 1.75 million American, will rely on cruise ships, trains and buses to escape town for the holiday weekend. AAA Michigan says this would be the highest Michigan travel volume for the holiday in more than a decade.

January 6, 2017: Comey is among a group of four top US intelligence officials who brief the president-elect on their conclusions that Russian Federation meddled in the presidential election on his behalf. Angus King told CNN's Wolf Blitzer Tuesday night about the prospect of impeachment if the claims in the Comey memo are true.

The White House said a memo written by Comey after he met with Trump in February was not an accurate portrayal of the conversation.

The tumult at the White House prompted currency traders to ditch the dollar against a broad range of currencies, most notably against the yen, to which investors often turn as a safe haven when there are problems in Europe and the United States. If Trump has, in fact, been taping conversations in the Oval Office, as he threatened, they will be subpoeanaed, too. "I hope you can let this go".

The practiced, analytical note-taking of a former Federal Bureau of Investigation director who knows how to leave a paper trail would amount to a compelling piece of evidence in the court of public opinion and pit Comey's word against Trump's.

Comey's dismissal came amid an ongoing FBI investigation into whether Trump campaign associates colluded with Russian Federation in last year's election. And apparently, Comey's flanks are covered, but until we actually read the memo, until Comey testifies under oath as to the nature of their conversation, we just don't know.

May 2, 2017: Clinton again lays part of the blame for losing the election on Comey's October 28 letter.

The New York Times says Trump made the request to Comey during a February meeting. But he tells senators: "I can't consider for a second whose political futures will be affected and in what way. We have to ask ourselves what is the right thing to do and then do it".

In addition, it seems unlikely that Comey telling Sen. But Trump lit a fire of debate about the law that could ultimately inform impeachment deliberations.

And while Mr. Comey himself has been silent, his associates have been exposing intriguing details of his encounters with Mr. Trump. Barry Goldwater (R-AZ) went to the White House and informed the president that he had no support left in Congress. Comey replied, "I agree he is a good guy".

But the morning after, he said in a tweet he has "tapes" and Comey should be careful.

A source close to Comey confirmed to ABC News that the former FBI director, who was sacked last week, was asked by Trump in February to end the investigation into Flynn's actions, according to a memo Comey wrote about his conversation with the president.

And there's no guarantee that the White House can get its story straight.

Ryan insisted Congress will exercise its oversight role and gather more information before reaching any conclusions about the president's firing of FBI Director James Comey, as well as reports Trump shared sensitive information with the Russians and urged Comey to drop an investigation of a former adviser.
